GOP presser LIVE on FOX
FOX News | Aug 1, 2011 | Jim Robinson

The GOP "leadership" is united in lying to the public while they stab us in the back.

I must correct their lies. There is not a nickle in spending cuts in this bill.

It's absolutely idiotic to pile on more debt and continue spending when you're already so deeply in debt that you can never get out.

No deal would be better than this MARXIST POS!!

It's the spending, stupid!!

Tea Party Freshmen: HOLD THE LINE!!

Rebellion is brewing!!

Reinforcements coming in 2012!!

Was this directed at someone else? I haven’t spoken about that issue. It is interesting none the less, where did the information come from?

Even worse, it gives the spender-in-chief power to squander what little money is left. The ceiling should not have been raised.

And what may be even worse than that is an unelected 12 will have tremendous power to decide on a second phase of cuts totaling $1.5 trillion.....that's going to prove corrupted beyond measure.... with bribes and blackmail to wach one.

The whole thing is obviously a Ponzi scheme - they know it, we know it, they know we know it. Some day it will collapse as all Ponzi schemes do. The critters only motivation is that it happens later rather than sooner.

That’s the only sense I can make of this whole sorry mess.

Add Mike Pence to the list of traitors. Voting for "a two-foot length of string" for Indiana governor now. http://mikepence.house.gov/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=4688&Itemid=55

Of course, West has virtually no experience in politics and has been especially targeted by the Dems, and Ryan has a history of going along with the establishment (e.g., TARP).

Rep. Louis Gohmert (R-TX) speaking on Hannity's radio show (Aug 1, hour 2, 2nd quarter hour) says he got a private commitment from Boehner (and Paul Ryan who Gohmert expects to be on the Select Committee) to bring a *critical* change to a vote.

That change will do away with baseline budgeting (with its 7.5% automatic increases) and move to zero-base budgeting.

With zero-base budgeting all departments start at $0 each budget year and must justify the full budget request.

If passed it would be GAME-CHANGING. That's a bill to look out for this year.

The vote will put Dems & RINOs on record for wanting the status quo of automatic increases.

Gohmert says Ryan supports the change and Boehner had said several times last week it's a budgeting change he'd like to see happen.

Inact legislation (or an amendment if necessary) that requires anyone receiveing Federal or State Aid for their income to be ineligable to vote

I'd extend that to all government employees, excluding the Military.

They could also step in and freeze gold and silver trading on the pretense of stopping “speculators” who are “destroying the economy”, or some such nonsense.

I wouldn’t put it past them. I wouldn’t put anything past them.

Good idea and they all take massive pay cuts effective immediately. Let them all survive on 45K a year with no cost of living allowance and crappy health care.

I'd do the vote on ending baseline budgeting first.

And then if that passes, schedule more votes.

Stand firm, Tea Party. In fact, start pushing back! Propose real cuts to, and eliminations of, existing federal agencies and programs. Insist upon a balanced budget amendment.

DO NOT ALLOW A DEBT INCREASE!

DO NOT ALLOW A DEBT INCREASE!

DO NOT ALLOW A DEBT INCREASE!
